Phoenix #1 iAcademy is a small, public virtual elementary school serving grades K-8 in the Phoenix, Arizona area. With only 65 students, the school has a diverse student population, with a majority Hispanic enrollment and significant representation of other racial/ethnic groups.
However, Phoenix #1 iAcademy struggles academically compared to the surrounding schools and the state averages. The school has low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics, ranking in the bottom quartile of Arizona elementary schools. This is particularly concerning for male students and Hispanic students, who rank in the bottom 10% and bottom 15% of Arizona elementary schools, respectively, in terms of academic achievement. The school's 2.6% dropout rate in 2021-2022 is also higher than the state average.
In contrast, the nearby traditional public schools, such as Augustus H. Shaw Montessori and Whittier Elementary School, significantly outperform Phoenix #1 iAcademy in academic proficiency, school rankings, and student group performance. This suggests that the virtual school model may face unique challenges in delivering effective instruction and fostering a supportive learning environment for its students, especially those from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, who make up a significant portion of the school's population.
In the 2022-23 school year, 65 students attended Phoenix #1 iAcademy.
Students at Phoenix #1 iAcademy are 74% Hispanic, 9% White, 8% African American, 3% Asian, 3% American Indian, 3% Two or more races.
